Powerplay Owner's Manual
General maintenance
Please note that electric assist bikes put more stress and strain on components than
traditional mountain bikes. They should therefore be inspected and maintained more
frequently to maximize safety, performance and longevity.
Seasonal charging
If you store your bicycle for long periods of time, be sure to charge the battery at least
once every three months. Failure to do so may cause damage to the battery, and a loss
of capacity. After one month of storage, the battery will enter a protection mode. To
revive the battery, plug it into the charger.
A good way to manage storage charging is to set calendar reminders in on your
computer or mobile device.
Cleaning
A clean bike is a happy bike. The best way to clean a dirty bike is with a bucket of warm ,
soapy water. Avoid using a pressure washer.
NOTE: Do not spray water at directly on any electrical component.
